Due to the outbreaks of COVID-19 in three residential communities in Changchun City, the Jilin Province capital, the government mobilized the city's entire population for the nucleic acid test. Besides suspending all worship services, many churches of the town supplied help for the pandemic screening.
In response to the initiative of the Jilin CC&TSPM, the Songhui Road Church in Chaoyang District organized its believers to donate anti-pandemic materials worth more than 5,000 yuan to the community, including protective clothing, masks, goggles, and disinfectant.
Learning that the community could not find a suitable venue for the test, Elder Wu Jinrong of Sijiqing Church in Lvyuan District provided the suspended church to the community as a testing point. They sent the church staff to assist in the trial, according to Jilin CC&TSPM.
This church's staff guided the residents every day from 8:30 am to 11 pm to complete the testing. They also provided hot water, fruit, particularly a blanket for each individual to withstand the cold in winter during the six days, to medical workers and community staff.
Due to the lack of staff for the test, Pastor Tang Yongyao and Fu Qiang of the church in Guojia Town, Dehui City, actively signed up to be volunteers for the pandemic prevention work. They were in charge of maintaining the order and transporting materials at the venue. Finally, as the nucleic acid test was completed, the hidden risk of propagation was eliminated.

近期，由于吉林省会长春市三处居民小区发生疫情，为控制疫情发展，长春市开展全民核酸检测。除了暂停聚会，长春市基督教多处场所积极配合疫情防控筛查。
长春市朝阳区松辉路基督教堂积极响应吉林省基督教两会的倡议，组织组织信徒向社区捐献防护服、口罩、护目镜、消毒液等价值5000余元的防疫物资。
长春市绿园区四季青基督教堂吴金荣长老在得知社区进行核酸检测找不到合适的场地时，积极配合把暂停活动的教堂提供给社区，设为疫情防控核酸检测点，并安排教会同工当志愿者，协助社区进行全民核酸检测。
每天早上8点半到晚上11点，教堂同工为进行核酸检测的居民进行引导，使核酸检测安全有序的完成。在6天的时间中，教会为医务人员和社区工作人员提供热水、水果等；还为每人预备了一条毛毯，抵御冬天的寒冷。
德惠市郭家镇基督教堂积极参与当地防疫工作，由于进行全民核酸检测缺少工作人员，教堂的二位年轻教牧人员唐永耀教士和付强教士积极报名，争当核酸检测志愿者，负责在检测现场维持秩序和运输物资,顺利完成了全民核酸检测工作，排除了疫情隐患.
